- I just wanted to write a quick endorsement for Mastermindanand's request. We have been in touch ever since he joined Wikipedia. I'm also very excited to see him try to share his experiences with his colleagues in Chandigarh, sharing his learnings and hopefully motivating others to do similar initiatives. Happy to provide further information that would be helpful in considering this request! - Adesh31 (talk) 05:32, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- I endorse Anand's application for travel and participation support.Mastermindanand has contributed in several ways to the Wikimedia movement -- as an active member of the community. Wikimedia and Indic language communities would greatly benefit from his participation in WikiConference India.Mahima Gupta (talk) 12:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- I'm happy to see that Mastermindanand has the opportunity to participate in this conference as a member of the Wikimedia Nashik community who can share his real world experience using Wikipedia.The organizers of the conference were very interested in having Wikimedia community members who could share practical experience. I think it's also important for the community to have a presence in this event, especially as the WMF remains committed to supporting emerging communities.
